Christina Koch

Jeremy Hansen

A veteran naval aviator leading the crewed validation of Orion's life support systems during critical translunar injection phases.

Executing precision orbital mechanics and manual docking maneuvers to integrate Orion with the human landing systems.

Conducting critical scientific operations and geological surveys of ice reserves across the rugged lunar south pole.

Managing redundant communication arrays and navigation telemetry to secure sustained presence during surface operations.

Rigorous Preparation

Forged Under Extreme Conditions

To survive the lunar south pole, the crew undergoes intensive simulations replicating low-gravity operations, geology field studies, and emergency egress protocols.

Lunar Gravity Simulation

Geological Fieldwork

Egress & Survival

Training in active suspension rigs and underwater labs to master the mechanics of walking on the lunar surface.

Analyzing volcanic landscapes and impact craters to identify volatile resources and harvest scientific samples.

Simulating emergency spacecraft exit scenarios in high-sea environments to ensure rapid, safe recovery post-splashdown.
